ROM hackers Danilo Dias, BillyTime!Games and Master Lunkeui announced they are working on adding Winston as a fourth playable character to the Genesis/Mega Drive Ghostbusters game from 1990 (previous ROM hacks merely reskinned one of the existing playable characters).

Other intended features include adding character-specific perks as well as other tweaks.

BillyTime!Games has also released a preview of the work done thus far:


Still in progress, this hack aims to make Ghostbusters on Sega Genesis even better! This showcases Perks for Egon and Ray. Winston code wise is complete but missing GFX. He will have a video of his own.

Goals:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fully Playable Winston!
Nerfed coffee Mugs
Character specific perks
More?!

Character Buffs:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Winston - No Gear to start, Higher Jump, Speed and Stamina
Peter - No Buffs, Normal Loadout (This could change in the future.)
Ray - Start with many more Infared Goggles
Egon - Start with Phaser Shell in Inventory.

WIP #2 (with bonus at the end):

In addition, a quick showcase of the new Alternate Costume feature.

This footage is of a hack in progress with numerous placeholders. The final version will appear a bit different when released.

WIP #3:


NOTE: This video represents a hack in progress, segments you see in this video may be different the finished version.

This new video shows a more fleshed out Winston, new gfx, sounds, the revised color select system and a new SRAM function to save your progress at anytime.

-How It Works:

Loading:
Select Load Game at the main menu, then select your character. after the initial cutscene all weapons, upgrades, Items, difficulty level and level progress will be retained.

*Note - Final Stage:
Reloading the game upon completing the Castle stage will send you back to the Castle stage with any extra money or upgrades earned after completing the stage. Both Castle and Deep Hole stage must be completed in one sitting. Due to limitations, the game cannot directly load into the final stage at the start of the Game.
